Where ever possible I try to let the kids compose their own material. The photo is the song Ms. Oasay's class came up with based on the rhythm pattern learned them today.
For homework, fourth graders, please construct a song of your own using the seven beat pattern. I will be providing the form you will need here shortly -- you will supply the lyrics.
As for fifth grade, they learned "Do Unto Others," a short song where the rhythm pattern follows the saying "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." We talked about some of the rules at Wonderland School and using these rhythm patterns began to develop our own song sections in small groups. We will be weaving these together next week.
